My goal is to make the finest tools I possibly can. My favourite tools are ones that function superbly and that have a lot of visual appeal and personality. At the heart of my tools are sound principles of construction based upon a lot of thought, experimentation, and the study of old tools.

My focus is on the restoration of tools of yesteryear and re-circulating them to buyers who will hopefully appreciate their quality.

Auriou makes superlative hand cut rasps and rifflers that are appreciated by woodworkers and artists from all over the world. Their full range of quality products is available through www.forge-de-saint-juery.com. Also, they are poised to re-enter the North American retail market place through selected retailers from early April 2009. First shipments are due to arrive at Lie Nielsen Toolworks & The Best Things in early - mid April and in August at Highland Hardware in Atlanta. As a matter of correction (March 17, 2009) to the previous listing here, the tools currently sold by The Best Things Corporation do not originate from Forge de Saint Juery. They are forged and stitched (application of the teeth onto a polished blank) by sub-contractors to a company over 250 miles from Forge de Saint Juery. The name Auriou is a trademark licensed to Forge de Saint Juery only. 4th generation rasp maker, Michel Auriou is the technical manager at Forge de Saint Juery.
